Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 1, 2015 - At this point in time, I got very little pleasure from drinking this.

On the plus side, it is a very concentrated, medium bodied, rich wine, with lots of power and intensity. Which means that in 10-20 years it may have settled down from its current form.

As of today though, I found it unbalanced and quite bitter. I would love to check in on this in 5-10 years to see how it evolves. Difficult to score, as I started at 86, then considered 88, then 90. I don't think his will achieve greatness, but it could be strong for the vintage. For the price though, would rather stick to cru bourgeois or 3rd to 5th growths from 2009/10. Not a great QPR. Benefit of the doubt given with a 90, but would have awarded much lower if I didn't know this had the pedigree to age well.

*Please note that this was purchased in a non-specialist wine bar in hot country with potentially unknown sources / storage conditions.
